Title: A New or Improved Machine for De-aerating and Re-forming Waste Rubber.
Inventor: LOW ARCHIBALD MONTGOMERY
IPC: B29B15/02
Filed: 1912-11-30
Granted: 1913-11-13
Abstract: 27,599. Low, A. M. Nov. 30. Utilizing waste rubber.-In the de-aeration and re-formation of waste rubber, by subjecting it to the action of heat and pressure in an airexhausted vessel, the rubber is fed into the upper of two heated communicating chambers 1, 2. The cover 10 and the valve 4 are closed, and air is exhausted by means of a pump 36. Intermeshing ribbed rollers 6 are now rotated and traversed from the bottom to the top of the chamber 1 by gearing 27, 22, 21, 14, 14<a>, 18, 19, 7 and 9. The screws 7 serve to traverse the rollers 6, and a rack 9 and pinions 8 to rotate them, so that the rubber is ' spewed ' between the rollers, which may, if desired, be moved up and down several times. During the ' spewing ' action. air is expelled from the rubber. The rubber is now admitted to the chamber 2, in which it is similarly treated by means of rollers 13, and simultaneously a further charge of rubber may be treated in the chamber 1. The rubber is finally discharged into moulds connected with the valved outlet pipe 34. The rubber is discharged from either vessel by traversing the rollers downwards without rotation. The direction of movement of the rollers is automatically reversed by striking-gear 30, 32, 32<a>, 31, and clutches 24. Fig. 3 shows a device by means of which the rollers mav be independently or simultaneously rotated and traversed. The rollers are mounted at one end on a screw a and at the other a worm, slidable upon a squared shaft d, engages with a worm-wheel b upon each roller. The desired results are obtained by rotating either or both of the shafts a, d.

Title: Improvements in or connected with Knife Cleaners or the like.
Inventor: HALL WALTER THOMAS
IPC: A47L21/04
Filed: 1912-12-10
Granted: 1913-08-07
Abstract: 28,521. Hall, W. T. Dec. 10. Knives, cleaning. - Comprises a construction of knife-cleaning apparatus, of the kind in which pressure is applied to superposed boards, between which the knives are rubbed, by means of an arched member which also forms a handle, and consists in arranging the arched member to co-operate with a second handle or loop for applying pressure to the boards and for facilitating the introduction of cleaning-powder between the boards. Fig. 1 shows one construction of knife-cleaner according to the invention, in which a pivoted arched member or bail a<3> attached to the bottom board is swung into an horizontal position so that the upper board can be raised by the fixed handle b<3> when cleaning- powder is to be introduced. A projection b<4> on the fixed handle engages a corresponding recess on the bail and locks this in its upright position. The top board is guided by the bent upper ends a<5> of metal plates secured to the ends of the lower board. These plates may be faced with leather or the like at points where they are liable to contact with the knife blades. In a modified construction, the projection b<4> and recess are replaced by coacting convex surfaces forming cams so that the movement of the bail into the upright position forces the two boards together. Fig. 11 shows a modification in which the bail carries a pivoted pressureapplying lever a<9> preferably provided with a roller for engaging the fixed handle. In some instances, the fixed handle is formed with a recess b<5> to lock the roller in its lowest position.

Title: Improvements in or relating to Telephone Systems.
Filed: 1912-12-20
Granted: 1913-12-22
Abstract: 29,353. Automatic Telephone Manufacturing Co., [Automatic Electric Co.]. Dec. 20. Semi - automatic exchange systems. - Rel a t e s to supervisory arrangements for systems in which a calling manual line is connected by a cord circuit to a two-wire junction leading to an automatic exchange, the connexion being established by the operator at the first exchange. The operation of the supervisory relay in the cord circuit is brought about by the variation of a resistance, bridged across the incoming end of t h e trunk, when the called subscriber replies. In response to a calling signal 68<a> from the subscriber A, Fig. 1,. the operator enquires the connexion desired, and if this is at a distant automatic exchange, she inserts the plug p of the cord O, Fig. 1, in the calling jack, and the plug p<1> in the pack of the two-wire trunk 74, 75. By means of the key K' she bridges her impulse-sender a across the trunk, thus closing a circuit through a relay 15, Fig. 2, of the relay set C and the line-relay 17 of the first selector D. The relay 15 is energized without result at this stage. The group selectors D, E and the connector F. Fig. 3, are then operated to select the wanted line substantially in the manner described in Specification 1419 / 10. During the establishment of the connexion, the relay 16, Fig. 2, is earthed over the contact 93 of the release relay 23 of the first selector and the composite test lead 32, 140, which, when the connector side-switch moves to its third position, is directly grounded over contact 138, arm 137, contact 135-136 of the back-bridge relay 46, and contact 134. When the relay 46 is energized on the response of the called subscriber, a resistance 194 is thrown into the test lead circuit, thus removing the short-circuit around the relay 16, which energizes a relay 14, which in turn bridges a high-resistance relay 13 across the trunk 74, 75, in place of the low-resistance bridge which included the relay 15 and the connector line relay 45. The supervisory relay 12, Fig. 1, is consequently de-energized and disconnects the supervisory signal 190. The relay 13, Fig. 2, bridges the relay 15 directly across the selector trunk, thus maintaining the circuit of the connector line relay 45. When the called subscriber hangs up, the back-bridge relay 46 again short-circuits the relay 16, which disconnects the relays 14, 13, so that the relay 12 is again energized and gives the clearing signal. When the calling subscriber rings off, a self-locking relay 11 lights the lamp 206. The withdrawal of the plug p<1> opens the circuit of the connector line relay 45, which releases the selectors in known manner.

Granted: 1913-11-06
Abstract: 16,050. Blondiau, J. July 17, 1912, [Convention date]. Filters with horizontal filtering partitions or layers; filters with hollow filtering-elements; filters, air supply for; supplying liquid in connexion with filters; filtering - media, hardening water.-A filter is constructed so that water passed through it is treated by a process similar to the natural purifying process to which the water of springs has been subjected. The water is supplied by a pump to a rose 9 which sprays it over coarse sand 4 supported on a layer of slates, mica, &c. in a tray 1 having a perforated bottom. The water falls from the perforations through a space 11, to which air is admitted through apertures 12, on to a non-submerged bed 13 of sand in a porous casing 14, and collects in a lower sand bed 15 to a depth indicated by a gauge 18. At one side of the lower part of the bed 15 is a wall of filtering-bricks 22 provided with parallel channels which are alternately open and closed at the opposite inlet and discharge faces of the bricks. The water passes through this wall and openings 26 into the filtered-water reservoir 27. The space in front of the filtering-wall is closed by a glass plate 23 protected by a suitable door 24. Capillary friction in the interior of the bricks is stated to produce electric currents in a direction opposite to the flow of water, thereby preventing the obstruction of the capillary channels by the sand. The reservoir 27 is provided with an overflow tube 30 bent to form a liquid seal and having an upward extension through which filtered air is admitted when water is drawn off by the tap 28. The water may be removed from the tank 27 by a pump, the lever of which simultaneously operates the pump that supplies the water to the rose 9. In order to obtain mineral water, the sand of the filter is mixed with rocks which will dissolve and have previously been submitted to the action of air. Water may be hardened by using calcareous stones in this way, and purgative and medicinal properties may be similarly imparted.
